Detaching and then reloading hasn\'t solved the glitch either, so suspending the project here :( If we abort the 051s and we don`t get any more WUs, we`ll be out in the cold, and won`t get any credits from. I think I`ll just carry on and see what happens. |

Detaching and then reloading hasn\'t solved the glitch either, so suspending the project here :( Pretty much what I\'m doing, letting everything run. I\'m also using the time to see if Ibercivis is less buggy now. The problems here are being adressed already, (what with that news posting right on the main page.) I hope it isn\'t something too horrible to fix. :-) |

Seems that every time I get work units from C@H that end in computation errors it trashes work across a wide range of other projects on a number of my hosts....this latest round trashed a score of Milkyways and 1 CPDN model which is pretty frustrating considering I was 30% into a 600hr workunit. :( Be aware that sending out bad work has a greater global effect than just in here. |

I find it difficult to understand how the bad WU in Cosmo effects other projects, unless: 1) Your system crashes and corrupts files all over your disk 2) You intentionally uninstall BOINC, detach from all projects, and cause other projects to fail. 3) You don\'t have \"Keep applications in Memory\" checked in your BOINC preferences 4) Some combination of the above. I\'ve been running BOINC for quite some time, on 10-15 systems currently, and have at least a basic understanding of how BOINC works, and have seen lots of bad things happen to a single project (SETI, LHC and others), and haven\'t had any problem with one project spilling over to the others on the same box. I had a rash of the \'051 errors today on several boxes, and none of my other projects had any hiccups at all. These comments are only based on my experience and not intended to reflect badly on others.... Mark |

It seems that only the workunits \"wu_051208...\" have errors. |

None of the 4 listed apply....most of the problems occur on my Linux boxes...Cosmo somehow corrupts the Boinc client and I don\'t know how... been on Boinc for 4 years now and this is the only project it occurs on other than when LHC crashed everyone as Greg mentioned. |

How come the SERVER STATUS liar says that there are only 2 results waiting for validation, when I\'ve got 59 (just counted) myself??? Wot\'s goin\' on?? 0+0 Hi Seejay, I just took a quick look at your pending wu\'s. As far as I can see non have made quorum yet. The server status only lists pending wu\'s that have made quorum and for some reason are still awaiting validation. You also have one in the checked but no concensus yet state. m4rtyn ************************** ![]() ![]() |

Wot\'s goin\' on?? 0+0 Hi M4artyn, long time..... You\'re right, I didn\'t even bother checking the status of the WUs in question. Oooops!! I suppose I owe an apology to \"Darkmatter\" !! ;-) I just assumed, after all the validator problems recently, etc. that there was an error!! Amazing what flaky and vanishing projects can do to your trust in said projects!! Take care, Chris :) ![]() |

Guy\'s, not to get on your Cases but this isn\'t supposed to be a Discussion Thread about the Urgent Problems the Project has. The Urgent Problem Discussion Thread is here > http://www.cosmologyathome.org/forum_thread.php?id=140 The problem with all the Continual General Discussion in this Thread is you have to sift thru all the Posts to actually find out whats a Urgent Problem & whats just a lot of prattle ... :) |

just a lot of prattle ... :) Hi Poorboy, [comencing_prattle] Could\'nt help noticing you\'ve added a bit of your own as well :) Seriously though Seejays belief that the validator was screwed again certainly qualifies as an urgent problem, not that the project admin is likly to ever read this thread.

LOL, looks like the Mod\'s are on the job and moving Posts ... Yes, I\'m Guilty too & have made a few Prattle Posts myself in the Urgent Problems Thread, but I\'m going to go to Rehab and try to stop ... :) Seriously though Seejays belief that the validator was screwed again certainly qualifies as an urgent problem, not that the project admin is likly to ever read this thread. Actually Seejays claim to having 50 Wu\'s waiting for Validation isn\'t true, his Pending Wu\'s waiting for a Wingman to return their Result doesn\'t really Qualify as a Wu Waiting for Validation, at least I don\'t think it does. A Wu waiting for Validation is 1 that the Quorum of 2 (2 people that have turned in a Result) has been meet & then that makes it a Wu waiting for Validation if both Wu\'s are a success (ie Valied) ... :) I didn\'t see anything of the sort in seejay\'s Wu\'s, all I saw was Pending Wu\'s waiting as I said for a Wingman to return theirs, which going full circle doesn\'t make it a Wu waiting for Validation to the Server ... :) |

I completed college in 1970 so maybe our language has changed? My definition of \"urgent\" and that of this project is quite different. And, my definitions of \"quality\", \"attentive\", \"communicative\", \"professional\", \"dedicated\", ..., are also quite different. Maybe academic pursuits have no deadlines nor profit motive, nor any employee risking being fired and replaced by someone more goal oriented. |

Still nothing... Well, if by tomorrow night I haven\'t got any WU, or at least an explanation, then I shall drop the ball. Something the founders seemed to have done... I\'m not expecting an improvement so I\'ll give my regards to everyone here and a Happy Cruching. Hopefully it won\'t come to that, but past experience is in my favor. C ya. |
